Sweet Somethings

Sweet Somethings puts a short message on your screen every so often, wherever you happen to be browsing. "I love you." "You've got this." "Drink some water." Whatever you want it to say. It fades in somewhere on the page, sits there for a few seconds, and disappears. Nothing to click, nothing to dismiss. You can't interact with it and it can't block anything you're doing — it drifts over the page and then it's gone. Set it up for someone you love and let them find it. Or set it up for yourself, which is honestly what most people end up doing. WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE Messages — Type one per line. A random one is picked each time. Emoji work fine on their own. There are five presets to start from — Romantic, Encouraging, Gentle reminders, Playful, and Emoji only — and you can edit any of them and save it as your own. Timing — Anywhere from every few seconds to every few hours, and how long each note stays on screen. How many at once — One note, or up to twelve at a time scattered across the page. The burst is worth trying at least once. Where — A random spot each time, dead centre, or pinned to any corner. Looks — Glow, Glass, Sticker, Plain, Outline, Pixel, Gradient, and Marker. Glass genuinely blurs the page behind it. Pixel is proper 8-bit blocks, not a fake shadow. Motion — Float up, Fade, Pop, or Drift. Type — Nine typefaces, from rounded and friendly to handwritten, poster-heavy, or monospaced. Size runs from 14 to 80 pixels. Colour — Pick one, shuffle through a palette you build yourself, or let every note choose its own. You can add, edit, and remove palette colours with a colour wheel or by typing a hex code. A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING Everything saves as you change it and applies immediately to tabs you already have open. No reload needed. The toolbar panel has a live preview, so you can see exactly what a note will look like before you commit. There's also a "Show on this page" button that fires one right away. If you want more room, "Full settings" opens the same controls in a full browser tab. Notes are skipped while a tab is in the background, so you don't come back from lunch to a pile of them. Chrome doesn't let extensions run on its own pages, so nothing appears on the New Tab page, chrome:// pages, or the Web Store. Open a normal website to see it working. If you use the "reduce motion" setting on your computer, the animations fall back to a simple fade. PRIVACY No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. The extension makes no network requests at all — it has no code to do so. Your settings are stored by Chrome and sync to your other computers if you're signed in. That's the only thing it stores, and nobody else can see it. It needs permission to run on the pages you visit because that is the entire point — the note has to appear on whatever page you're looking at. It reads nothing from those pages and sends nothing anywhere.
